White Teas

WHAT IS WHITE TEA?

White tea is one of the most delicate tea varieties because it is so minimally processed. It is harvested before the tea plant’s leaves open fully, when the young buds are still covered by fine white hairs, hence the name “white” tea.

HOW IS WHITE TEA DIFFERENT FROM BLACK OR GREEN TEA?

White tea is made from the buds and unfurled leaves from the newest growth on the tea plant. The leaves are handpicked then quickly and meticulously dried, so they are not allowed to oxidize (be exposed to oxygen) as long as leaves plucked for green or black tea production. This minimal processing and low oxidation results in some of the most delicate and freshest tea available.
